Tutoring Services: Types of Tutoring: Online Tutoring

We offer an online tutoring service called NetTutor that operates even when we are closed.

Students, you can use NetTutor on a 24/7/365 basis for math and many other popular subjects. This means you can get tutoring in most subjects during and after regular campus hours!

You can access NetTutor through the myMATC portal (Students menu) or, in some cases, through your Blackboard classes.

Instructors, we have provided detailed instructions for adding a NetTutor button to your Blackboard class.

Note: We encourage students to find MATC tutors before using NetTutor. We also discourage students from relying solely upon NetTutor for assistance, as NetTutor is only free for 32 hours of use per semester. MATC tutoring is always free.

We do still offer in-person tutoring in most subjects on all four campuses. Search our Tutoring Schedules to find out when and where.
